NOTED DESPERATE.
Craig TOliver and Four Broth

LOUISVILLE, Kentucky, June 3d.
The news from Rowan county to-

appears to be All .ipdjspu:able fact
Craig Tolliver is killed and his gang

miles of Morehead, il was Jagged by
some citizens, and when it came to II

that bloody battle was soing on in
Morehead between the Sherifi's posse

notified that the fighting was over and
that the train might pass through the
town with safety. The rain stopped
for sometime at Morehead and there
the passengers learned the particulars
of the battle, which appeared to be

We can do without whisky, but not with

What was it, sentiment or revenue,

party would be regulators instead OF
sheriff's posse. Tolliver and his
party, consisting OF about ten men,
were quite vigilant and they boldly
went heavily armed TO meet every
east-bound train al the depot to search
for suspicious characters and to see
that no one got off at Morehead but
those whom they desired. Sheriff
Hogg equipped his large party with
Winchester rifles aud ammunition and
was secretly conveyed TO his rendez
vous while he was organizing his
posse. Everything was ready for a
move on the Tolliver gang several
days ago, but as IL was known that
neither he nor any of his men would
possibly submit to legal arrest of any
kind, it was decided best to have their
plans thoroughly matured before TAX
ing any decisive steps. II was finally
determined to attempt the arrest of
the assassin Tuesday, June 70, in the
day time, to prevent any women, chill
dren or inofiensivc citizens from be-
ing killed by accident. Accordingly,
at an early hour this morning, the
people living on the line of railroad
within two or three miles of More
head, on each side Of the town, were
notified to stop all trains and inform
the conductors whit was going on in
Morchead, so that the passengers aud
train men would not be placed In
danger. Sheriff Hogg's band of reso-
Lutte men, numbering probably more
than 200, appeared sud denly at More

warm lodges felt the impulse and did
likewise, and many individual contri-
buttons poured in. After eighteen
months of ncessant labor over quar-
Ter of million of dollars has been
raised and more Is still coming in. The
great success attending the movement
for the payment of the temple debt
gave birth to the idea that the time had (
arrived for establishing the Masonic
home and asylum which was the dream
of the Masons for the past generation
and to the building and support of
which the revenues of the temple prop
erty were to be devoted. After serious
and mature doliberation, however, it.
was. determined that it would be unwise
TO assume second debt while the first
or any portion of il remained unpaid,
and the craft conceded in the determi-
nation of the grand master that moth
ing should be done in the matter until
the last dollar of the temple debt had
been paid. 1t is The feeling OF the or
der that Mr.. Lawrence shall rcmain at
the head of the fraternity. at least I'M
til the debt is paid, so great is the
confidence in his executive ability.
These expressions of he'bretheren have
been marked, and it is, felt that the,

Texas Philosophy.

When liquor advocate is driven
into a corner and cannot excuse or
deny the crime, sorrow and waste
of the traffic. he brigntens up, as.
sumes the role ola philosopher, and
boldly asserts that tho people of this
age are "wiser than Solomon" I'M
derstand human nature better than
its great author, and have learned
that temptation is necessary to the
development of character" therefore
We should have plenty of rum shops
to develop Texans into the highest
types of sobriety.
1.-THE latest theory Is correct, each
church ought to own and run saloon
so as 10 test and strengthen moral
character, and bring all bibulous
brethren and friends up to the stand
ard of successful resistance, when in
vited by the True Blues to 'leis go
in and take something"
If saloons win develop the highest
type ofmanhood, why not have one 10
every family, sothat the proud mother
of the land can see her children grow
into noble men and women without
vice and possessed of every virtue.

ONE has to pay for prohibition.--Waco
Examiner
Waving the many strong arguments
of sense, sentiment and figures which
prove that prohibition is economy, the
HERALD would suggest that prohibi'
bition is worth paying for. Why
should the state pay cost of enforcing
laws against assault, arson, outrage
and murder, and then tolerate the sa-
loon which does society moro injury
than all other evils? Clearheaded pro-
hibitionists believe that it is worth
paying for and consistently contribute
literally to its success, prompted by
no selfish or pecuniary motive.
